Shr oatiy (Ear Mwl Bulls Grab Brand No. 1 at Draft Bv Rachel Carter Sports Editor WASHINGTON - Steve Francis was not a happy man. The Maryland guard still sat in the MCI Center’s Green Room at 7:40 p.m. and he certainly did not expect to still be in his seat. Neither did the fans in the arena. Francis was their man and their pick to be No. 1 in the NBA Draft. But apparently, Francis and the Washington fans did not think like the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls stunned Francis when they selected Duke forward Elton Brand as the No. 1 pick of the 1999 NBA Draft. Brand was the consensus National Player of the Year for 1998-99. “(The Bulls) took a big gamble in not RECORDS From Page 3 participating in a statewide public records access project. Hill reprimanded Hatch for not being forthright about the project and returned his driver’s license. He told him Hatch’s insurance agent had con firmed his vehicle insurance was cur rent. Hatch was free to go. Another reporter’s license tag was checked through the DMV computer to find out the person’s name. Montgomery County Sheriffs Maj. Tim Jordan confirmed he ran the check on reporter Lynn Goswick when she invoked her right not to identify herself. Jordan had complied with Goswick’s request for crime reports, but he would not let her see concealed handgun per mit applications. “She knew who I was and claimed she was a citizen of this country. I did n't know who she was from anybody,” Jordan said in a telephone interview later. “I felt the tag check was necessary.” He said he asked Goswick four times to state her name. When she steadfastly refused, he decided not to let her see the permit applications. “When someone comes in and won’t tell us who she is, I’m going to force their hand and take the necessary steps to make them show me something,” he said. “If people come in here with the proper attitude and request to see cer tain documents, they won't have any problem seeing them.” Sometimes the local sheriff tried ver CAMPAIGNS From Page 3 “It’s just a billboard.” Warshaw said Daughtry and his staff had designed the Web site and had hired an independent computer service to do the programming. Chapel Flill Town Council member Joe Capowski said Internet campaigning was an asset in state and national cam paigns, but was not very effective at the local level. “The wider the election, the more valuable the Internet is,” Capowski said. “You spend a lot of energy and money targeting a narrow group."

Brand said he was surprised to be the No. 1 pick. “I didn’t know who would go one,” Brand said. “Lamar Odom, Steve Francis, Wally Szczerbiak, they’re all great players, so I didn’t know exactly where I would fit in this draft.” Francis was chosen No. 2 by Vancouver and found it difficult to hide his disappointment with the selection. “As soon as I get a chance, I’ll take (the Vancouver Grizzlies’ hat) off,” Francis said. The NBA gives top draft picks a team hat before they walk up to shake NBA Commissioner David Stem’s hand. Francis said he really was not a big fan of the NBA and did not pay much attention to the professional game until the start of the playoffs. bal arm-twisting to compel a reporter to relinquish the legal right to anonymity when requesting public records. “Nobody is going to look at any records without telling me who they are and who they work for,” Chowan County Sheriff Fred Spruill told Cindi Courbat. When she tried to cite the pub lic records access law, Spruill said loud ly, jabbing the air with his finger in front of her face, “Listen, little lady, you are going to tell me right now who you are.” The reporter seeking pistol permit applications at the Orange County Sheriff s Department met this response from Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass when she cited the public records access law: “Don’t you tell me what the law is. I know what it is. I’m the sheriff.” Siler City Police Chief Lewis Phillips demanded identification before releasing crime reports to “Nobody is going to look at any record without telling me who they are and who they work for. ” Fred Spkiili Chowan County Sheriff reporter Chip Womick. When Womick said he didn't have to, Phillips said he needed to consult with the town attor ney- He was out of town. Phillips made an on-the-spot decision: no access. “I’m not going to let you look at them, even if he says so, if I don’t know who you are and who you represent,” Phillips said. Lt. Tony Roberson of the Davidson County Sheriff s Department was equal ly insistent on that point, according to Cindy Stiff, a journalism instructor who paigns was mass e-mail messages. “A lot of groups have e-mail lists,” Capowski said. “It’s nice to send out letters to people in that specific group.” Warshaw said the Daughtry cam paign had not used mass e-mail mes sages but planned to in the later stages of the campaign. “We really haven’t started contacting people through the Internet as much as we’d like,” Warshaw said. “We do plan to contact a large number of people by e-mail.” Warshaw said the e-mail messages would take the form of regular newslet ters for campaign staff and supporters.

After Michael Jordan left I stopped liking pro fessional basketball.” Charlotte took UCLA point guard Baron Davis as the third overall pick. Davis had not worked out with the Hornets, but was considered the best point guard in the draft. Though rumors swirled that Davis declined the Hornets’ invitation for a workout so they would not draft him, Davis maintained that a twisted ankle kept him away from Charlotte. Unlike Davis and Francis, who seemed less-than-thrilled with the teams that chose them, No. 4 pick Lamar Odom expressed nothing but joy. Odom, a Rhode Island junior, said he was thrilled to be selected by the Los had asked to see the county’s concealed handgun permit applications. “When an officer of the law asks your name, you are required to give it,” Roberson said. He said the attorney gen eral’s office said it was so. Cari Hepp of the attorney general’s office said that is not the case. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled people seek ing public information need not give their names, she said. Orange County Sheriff Pendergrass defended his decision to demand iden tification even when apprised of the attorney general office’s position. “You come up and ask me something and kind of give me an idea why I need to comply instead of saying you don’t have to give me informa tion, and I might be happier to com ply,” Pendergrass said. Hillsborough Police Chief N. Eubanks asked a reporter to leave twice when he said he wanted to see crime log but wouldn’t identify himself. An officer followed him to his car. A Wilkes County Sheriff’s Department deputy warned reporter Danielle Deaver she could go to jail if she saw the application list for concealed handgun permit applications and wasn’t a U.S. citizen. “Maybe we’ll put you in jail anyway,” another clerk joked. Deaver left immediately, without seeing the applications. ars NOf HERE on the Village Green FRIDAY ...The Party Nuts SATURDAY...Donovaa Posse Saturday is Red Stripe Night • Register to win a trip to Jamaica TUESDAYS: BLUE CUP SPECIAL 52.75 • SUNDAYS: KARAOKE NIGHT t Mixed Paper is now collected at all Orange County Drop-off Sites •Junk mail (window envelopes are OK) •Paperboard (cereal) boxes - ■■ •White paper Please NO PLASTIC BAGS. •Cos lored paper Recycle glossy magazines & •Manila folders newspapers at the curb or in the •t. ardstock proper drop site container V Orange Community Recycling 968-2788 Captivating Clothing for the Contemporary Woman £mma Contemporary Fashions is Setting a makeover!

Sinreich said that her time on the board had taught her effective problem solving. But she learned more than just efficiency, she said. Sinreich explained that transporta tion was a more complicated issue than many people believe. “Transportation really means more than how to get from point A to point B,” she said. “There should be connec tions between land use and transporta tion planing.” Gabriel said people in their 50s did not understand young people’s needs and Sinreich’s youth could be an asset to the town. Sinreich said planning for the future is something that she was capable of doing. “I have an advantage in being young because I think about the future a lot,” Sinreich said. “I think about how it’s going to be in 20 years because I’ll still be living here.” Next week The Daily Tar Heel will examine the candidacy of Bill Strom.

Familiar Story Makes Movie Sweet as 'Pie' "American Pie" hysterically delves into the mystery and, more so, the reality that is the first sexual experience. By Justin Marlowe Staff Writer Do you remember your first time? If so, then there’s no doubt you’ll find some part of “American Pie” eerily familiar. This new Universal Studios release examines the pressure and anticipation surrounding the desire of four high school boys to become initiated into the world of sexual experience. Happily, the movie does so in an extra ordinarily funny and realistic man ner. H Movie Review "American Pie" tiff The subject of sex, especially sex for the first time, is not exactly uncharted territory for cin ematic consideration. Usually, these “coming of age” movies revolve around a teen or group of teens who are striving to loose their virginity for any number of reasons. In that respect, “American Pie” is in no way different from other films of the genre. But this movie is by no means run-of the-mill. To begin with, the movie is consistently hilarious. Too often, a movie of this sort will roll along nicely until the appointed cathartic moment, from which point onward it will dissolve into drivel and mush, limping to a lame conclusion. “American Pie”, however, keeps the mood light throughout, which makes the sentiment that much more genuine when appropriate. Secondly, the movie presents a wide STUDENT TRAVEL London $670 Paris $757 Honolulu $593 Sydney. sll7O All fares are round-trip. Tax not included. Some restrictions apply.

Franklin St • Eastgate Shopping Center Open Seven Days a Week Thursday, July 8, 1999 range of initial sexual experiences, from the romanticized version on a moon light gazebo between two people obvi ously falling in love, to the more realis tic awkward experience between two people clearly destined not to end up together. Considering further this last example, the depiction of the “first time” between boyfriend and girlfriend Kevin and Tracy (Thomas lan Nicholas and Tara Reid) is probably as accurate a portray al of reality as has ever been committed to film. The tense moments, the uneasi ness, the morning after are all shown for the strikingly unromantic things they frequently are. The film does contain a few touching moments, but these don’t get in the way of the overarching irreverence toward romanticization found in the film in gen eral. The point is not to glorify sex - instead, the movie aims to remove sex from its position atop the mountain of teen priority. By the end of the film, most of the characters have grown con siderably, and their views on sex and its importance have changed accordingly. Above all, the film is a comedy, and it repeatedly succeeds in providing the viewer with laugh-out-loud material. The humor is almost entirely sexually oriented, and often quite raunchy, but at the same time refreshingly innocent. There is no one to dislike in the film, and everyone is portrayed as being good at heart. As well as avoiding shady characters, the movie steers clear of the conse quences of sex. Disease and pregnanev are never mentioned, although safe sex is implicitly promoted. But this is not an educational film, and these omissions make good sense for a light-hearted comedy.
